RollerCoaster Tycoon is a simulation strategy computer game that simulates theme park management. Developed by MicroProse and Chris Sawyer and published by Hasbro Interactive, the game was released for Microsoft Windows on March 31, 1999 and was later ported to the Xbox game console. Later, a special edition called Roller Coaster Tycoon Deluxe was released which contained the original game and the two expansion packs. It is the first game in the RollerCoaster Tycoon series and was followed by RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 and RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, but RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 was developed without input from the franchise's creator, Chris Sawyer.

Your PC will need a graphics card thats as powerful as a Vanta 16MB/Rage 128 Ultra 16MB and it should be paired with either a K6 233MHz/Pentium II 233MHz CPU to match the RollerCoaster Tycoon recommended system specs. This PC setup will deliver 60 Frames Per Second on High graphics settings on 1080p monitor resolution. Another thing to consider is the DirectX capability of your GPU. RollerCoaster Tycoon needs a GPU capable of running DirectX 8. To summarise, RollerCoaster Tycoon needs around a 21 year old PC to play at recommended settings.
